thank you for this thread! i had an off-the-cuff comic turned into a meme and it's such a weird feeling that my art is just being spread out there without any credit here's a version with my name on it, im fine with people using that one :)

The Spouse and I were talking about @darkhorseunion.bsky.social getting recognized, and now we’re explaining unions to a 5-year-old. Start ‘em early. ✊

A little about how my business kept spinning while I dealt with a very unexpected birth experience, and a few things I’d add in if I had to do it over again

I definitely recommend Stumptown Savings! And I’ll be checking out Bridgetown Bites soon

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

I have introduced my 5y.o. to Steven Universe and HE LOVES IT 😭

This is incredible 😆

Hey, friends. Suozzi is absolutely horrible and needs to be challenged. If you have a few bucks, please feel free to toss something at @votewelch.bsky.social so we can have an actual primary here. I'm gonna donate again.

This is the kind of human we need more of in our governments. Throw in if you can!

So many people who DIY their websites still do this!

“won’t use its data for marketing and will protect against hacks,” right. Just ask anyone who’s had their credit card info compromised due to data breaches how much we should trust that.

I’m real tired of algorithms getting between me and the things I actually want to see.

They’re trying so hard to push things like this through.

A WARRIOR FEARS NOTHING, NOT EVEN ASKING FOR HELP.

Microsoft needs to fix what went wrong with Windows: bring back Space Cadet Pinball

Only reposting this for @joestreckert.bsky.social

My kid, picking a carnival prize: “I want the T-Rex!” Reader, this was the T-Rex:

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

I have cherries and an inclination to bake. What are your favorite cherry-centric desserts?

My kid’s preschool: “reminder that we are closed next week, hope you have a nice break” Me:

"I need AI art, otherwise I can't make my project." Randy Savage cut a promo with nothing but a coffee creamer he swiped from craft services. Stop making excuses and do better.

In other news, Hearst Castle is a real trip

I missed writing the newsletter for today, because I’ve been busy being on family vacation (and reffing the gold medal game at West playoffs 😅) But OH BOY is Google giving me a lot of options for what to write about in next week’s issue

Dont worry, now we have a mayor to remind everyone

she’s in oakland, someone tell interpol

#mutualaid #romancelandia $575/1993 Unemployed library asst recovering w/ back injury. 6/19th to pay off April rent of $1993 before eviction is enforced. Rental assistance is already depleted in Baltimore city. I am actively applying for jobs & working w/ case management. gofund.me/fb305456f

if the bathrooms are only free to people who have phones, then the bathrooms aren't free

I play a contact sport on roller skates and that feels less dangerous than crossing the street in front of a Waymo

OK gang: if you’re a Portlander visiting SF, and you only have time for one, do you do burritos or dim sum?

Did my workout at a 24Hr Fitness because I didn’t want to miss deadlift day, and wowwwww, I’m understanding why people avoid the gym

Flying out tonight and this TSA agent is trying so hard to make her job fun right now 😆

Back at it, thanks to a creepy notification.

If you live in Seattle and you’ve seen this woman Anika, please call the 911. She has been missing for almost a month

I love this.

I’m apparently the guy who will cheer for the library at the town parade

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Legends is such a rad group to be a part of. Get in on it!

"you better embrace Ai or get left behi-" FINE, LEAVE MY ASS BEHIND, GO

Go help a good human win an election!

I’m glad my social media manager asked me about this, because, while there’s a LOT of will in my staunch avoidance of AI, there are habits I have that support me in it, too.

Like I said: the civil rights era never ended. You are still in it. The most important form of free speech, is the right to vote. Racists don't want Black people to vote. So they wrote down a plan to stack the Supreme Court with people that would make it harder for Black people to vote. It worked

I've known Hailey for years and I've seen her deal with some incredibly tough challenges with grace and resilience. I've also seen her do so much to lift up other trans and queer people. It fucking sucks that her mom is sick. I'd be so grateful if you could show her some support <3

This is AWFUL and should get national press.

A very good doggo I saw while doing strongman stuff today

I simply cannot watch Top Chef contestants do desserts without cackling out loud, because they’re all so grumpy about doing it 😆

Steve waits patiently for his pint to arrive
